The superoxide dismutase inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) was utilized to study the toxic effect of 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-sulfonate (NQ), a structural analog of the hemolytic drug, menadione, on red cells. NQ was shown to react with hemoglobin and result in the generation of superoxide anion (O2-). Red cells treated with NQ were found to undergo a gradual disappearance of their oxyhemoglobin and also hemolyze. Red cells pretreated with DDC to inhibit cellular superoxide dismutase were found to be markedly sensitive to oxyhemoglobin destruction and hemolysis in the presence of NQ. Superoxide dismutase-inhibited red cells were also found to undergo a slow autohemolysis in the absence of NQ. No evidence for lipid peroxidation was obtained for red cells treated with NQ either in the presence or the absence of DDC. Ghosts prepared from superoxide dismutase-inhibited red cells exposed to NQ were found to retain a green hemoglobin-derived pigment. 相似文献

The toxic action of the superoxide anion (O2?) toward the erythrocyte was investigated with O2? generated through the autooxidation of dihydroxyfumaric acid (DHF). A suspension of human red cells exposed to DHF undergoes a rapid breakdown of the cellular hemoglobin to methemoglobin and other green pigments. This hemoglobin breakdown is inhibited by superoxide dismutase (SOD) or catalase (CAT) and is accelerated by lactoperoxidase (LP) added externally to the red cell medium. Associated with the hemoglobin breakdown is a hypotonic hemolysis also inhibited by SOD or CAT and initially accelerated but later inhibited by LP. Conversion of the red cell hemoglobin to carbonmonoxyhemoglobin in an aerated medium results in no hemoglobin breakdown or hypotonic lysis in the presence of DHF, even though O2? can be demonstrated in the medium. Although no evidence for membrane sulfhydryl oxidation or lipid peroxidation can be demonstrated in red cells exposed to DHF, the membranes of these cells were found to retain a green pigment. The presence of this green pigment in red cell membranes was inhibited by SOD, CAT, or conversion of the cellular hemoglobin to carbonmonoxyhemoglobin, but was not inhibited by LP. These results have been interpreted as a peroxide-dependent formation of O2? by DHF, followed by attack of O2? on hemoglobin. The reaction of O2? with hemoglobin leads to the formation of a hemoglobin-breakdown product that binds to the red cell membrane, resulting in an increased osmotic fragility of the cell. 相似文献

The increase in 1,4-naphthoquinone-2-sulfonate (NQS)-induced hemolysis by the superoxide dismutase inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDC) was formerly attributed to increased superoxide anion levels in the erythrocyte. Our results show that removal of DEDC after preincubation and prior to the addition of NQS did not produce a significant increase in hemolysis, which suggests that hemolysis is primarily caused by the reaction products of DEDC with NQS and not to the inactivation of superoxide dismutase. Disulfiram, the oxidized product of DEDC, was found to be the main product formed when excess DEDC was reacted with NQS. Oxygen uptake also occurred and hydrogen peroxide was formed. The latter caused the oxidation of DEDC to disulfiram as catalase prevented disulfiram formation. Disulfiram was found to readily hemolyze erythrocytes at low concentrations as well as to crosslink the proteins in the erythrocyte membrane. Furthermore, disulfiram-induced hemolysis was markedly enhanced in glutathione-depleted erythrocytes. Disulfiram was subsequently found to readily oxidize glutathione in red blood cells. When equimolar concentrations of DEDC and NQS were reacted, the major product formed was the diethyldithiocarbamate:1,4-naphthoquinone (DEDC:NQS) conjugate. However, the principal mediator of erythrocyte hemolysis when excess DEDC is reacted with 1,4-naphthoquinone-2-sulfonate is disulfiram, whose mode of action may be to modify membrane protein sulfhydryls. 相似文献

N,N-Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), a copper-chelating agent, not only inhibits superoxide dismutase activity in the red cell, but also depletes glutathione and promotes the production of methemoglobin, sulfhemoglobin, and small amounts of lipid peroxidation products. DDC reacts with oxyhemoglobin to yield disulfiram, hydrogen peroxide, and methemoglobin. Disulfiram and hydrogen peroxide both convert GSH to GSSG, while DDC reduces methemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin. Although disulfiram also reacts with the hemoglobin sulfhydryl groups, this reaction does not play a role in the conversion of GSH to GSSG. Other hemoglobin derivatives, ferrous, and ferric ions do not catalyze the oxidation of GSH by DDC. These results support the conclusion that DDC reacts with the super-oxo-ferriheme complex of oxyhemoglobin to generate hydrogen peroxide and disulfiram and that the cyclic conversion of oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin and DDC and disulfiram results in the net oxidation of GSH. Thus, damage to DDC-treated erythrocytes exposed to a putative superoxide-generating toxin, such as 1,4-naphthoquinone-2-sulfonate, may actually be due to diminished GSH concentration and hemoglobin oxidation rather than to superoxide radicals. Glucose added to the incubation medium of DDC-treated erythrocytes fully prevented glutathione depletion but not the oxidation of oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin. Several other copper-chelating agents either failed to inhibit the activity of purified superoxide dismutase or when incubated with erythrocytes produced more extensive GSH depletion and hemoglobin oxidation than DDC. It is concluded that the interpretation of results with erythrocytes exposed to copper-chelating agents must consider their effects on GSH and hemoglobin as well as on superoxide dismutase inhibition. Moreover, one must be mindful of the interference by DDC in the analysis of GSH with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) in the absence of sufficient quantities of metaphosphoric acid to destroy DDC and that contamination of DDC with trace quantities of disulfiram may be a significant problem. 相似文献

Peroxynitrite, the reactive species formed in vivo by the reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide anion, is capable of diffusing across erythrocyte membranes via anion channels and passive diffusion (A. Denicola, J. M. Souza, and R. Radi, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95, 3566-3571, 1998). However, peroxynitrite diffusion could be limited by extracellular targets, with the reaction with CO(2) (k(2) = 4.6 x 10(4) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4) the most relevant. Herein, we studied the influence of physiological concentrations of CO(2) on peroxynitrite diffusion across intact red blood cells. The presence of CO(2) inhibited the oxidation of intracellular oxyhemoglobin by externally added peroxynitrite. However, the inhibition by CO(2) decreased at increasing red blood cell densities. At 45% hematocrit, 1.3 mM CO(2) (in equilibrium with 24 mM bicarbonate, at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C) only inhibited 30% of intracellular oxyhemoglobin oxidation. This partial inhibition was also observed in red blood cells pretreated with the anion exchanger inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, ruling out a competition between peroxynitrite and bicarbonate for the transport through the anion channel. A theoretical model was developed to estimate the diffusion distance and half-life of extracellular peroxynitrite before reacting with intracellular oxyhemoglobin, at different red blood cell densities, and in the presence or absence of CO(2). The theoretical model correlated well with the experimental data. Our results indicate that, even in the presence of CO(2), peroxynitrite is able to diffuse and reach the inside of the erythrocyte. 相似文献

"Band 3," an integral membrane protein of red blood cells, plays a relevant role in anionic transport. The C- and N-terminal portions of band 3 are cytoplasmatics, and the last is the link site for different glycolitic enzymes, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, phosphofructokinase, and hemoglobin. All or some of these interactions on the CDB3 protein could allow a subtle modulation of anion flux. The interaction among HbA, Mg(2+), and membrane proteins has been sufficiently investigated, but not the effect of Mg(2+) on pathological hemoglobin in relation to the influx of the SO(4)(2-). The aim of this study was to evaluate the involvement of hemoglobin S in sulfate transport. This has been measured with native and increased concentrations of Mg(2+), using normal erythrocytes containing HbA, sickle red cells containing HbS, or ghosts obtained from both erythrocytes and normal erythrocytes ghosts with HbS added. The magnitude of the SO(4)(2-) rate constant measured in normal red blood cells increased markedly when measured in the presence of varied Mg(2+) concentrations. The results show that a low increase of intracellular Mg(2+) concentrations exercises a different HbA modulation on band 3 protein and consequently higher anion transport activity. The same experiments carried out in sickle red cells showed that the SO(4)(2-) rate constant measured in the presence of native concentrations of Mg(2+) was normal, compared to normal red cells, and was not affected by any increase of intracellular Mg(2+). Our suppositions with regard to the importance exercised by the hemoglobin and the Mg(2+) on the SO(4)(2-) influx were confirmed by comparison of the data obtained through measuring SO(4)(2-) influx with native and increased concentrations of Mg(2+) in both normal and sickle red cell ghosts. Both revealed the same sensitivity to Mg(2+) due to withdrawal of hemoglobins. The incorporation of HbS in normal as well as in sickle red cell ghosts reduced the Mg(2+) response to sulfate influx in both the reconstituted ghosts. Our research demonstrated that the different effects exercised on the rate constants of SO(4)(2-) influx in normal (HbA) and sickle red cells (HbS) by the increased intracellular Mg(2+) could be ascribed to the physical-chemical influence exercised either on the hemoglobins or on the intracellular contents of erythrocytes. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal injection of rats with diethyldithiocarbamate (1.2 g/kg body wt) led to maximum diminution of superoxide dismutase activity at 1 hr by 86 and 84% in liver and red blood cell respectively with a gradual return to the normal level at 48 hr after administration of injection. Significant inhibition of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase was also observed, which returned to normal at 48 hr after administration of injection. However, maximum decline in its activity was at 12 hr by 52 and 73% in liver and red blood cells respectively. No significant difference in tissue level of selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase was observed during time course study after diethyldithiocarbamate administration. It is possible that inhibition of superoxide dismutase by diethyldithiocarbamate leads to accumulation of superoxide anion which in turn inactivates selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase by its reaction with selenium at the active site of the enzyme. 相似文献

Neutrophil-mediated methemoglobin formation in the erythrocyte. The role of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Human neutrophils incubated with phorbol myristate acetate oxidized hemoglobin within the intact erythrocyte by a mechanism dependent on cell-cell contact but independent of phagocytosis. Spectrophotometric examination of the erythrocyte lysates revealed that the major component formed was methemoglobin along with small amounts of a species with spectral characteristics similar to choleglobin. Methemoglobin formation was directly related to the neutrophil concentration and the time of incubation. The addition of superoxide dismutase or catalase modestly inhibited the formation of methemoglobin, while a combination of the enzymes provided the most dramatic protection. Methemoglobin of hydroxyl radical or hypochlorous acid scavengers. Apparently, either O2.- or H2O2 alone was capable of mediating methemoglobin formation in the intact erythrocyte. Maintenance of the intraerythrocytic hemoglobin in its oxygenated state or its derivatization to carbon monoxyhemoglobin markedly inhibited methemoglobin formation. Blockade of the anion channels in the intact erythrocyte with sulfonated stilbenes inhibited O2.- but not H2O2 from oxidizing intracellular hemoglobin. It appears that neutrophil-derived O2.- and H2O2 can cross the erythrocyte membrane through the anion channel or diffuse directly into the intracellular space and react with oxyhemoglobin or deoxyhemoglobin to form a mixture of hemoglobin oxidation products within the intact cell. 相似文献

We examined the protective effect of cellular superoxide dismutase against extracellular hydrogen peroxide in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. 51Cr-labeled cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide generated by glucose oxidase/glucose. Glucose oxidase caused a dose-dependent increase of 51Cr release. Pretreatment with diethyldithiocarbamate enhanced injury induced by glucose oxidase, corresponding with the degree of inhibition of endogenous superoxide dismutase activity. Inhibition of cellular superoxide dismutase by diethyldithiocarbamate was not associated either with alteration of other antioxidant defenses or with potentiation of nonoxidant injury. Enhanced glucose oxidase damage by diethyldithiocarbamate was prevented by chelating cellular iron. Inhibition of cellular xanthine oxidase neither prevented lysis by hydrogen peroxide nor diminished enhanced susceptibility by diethyldithiocarbamate. These results suggest that, in cultured endothelial cells: 1) cellular superoxide is involved in mediating hydrogen peroxide-induced damage; 2) superoxide, which would be generated upon exposure to excess hydrogen peroxide independently of cellular xanthine oxidase, promotes the Haber-Weiss reaction by initiating reduction of stored iron (Fe3+) to Fe2+; 3) cellular iron catalyzes the production of a more toxic species from these two oxygen metabolites; 4) cellular superoxide dismutase plays a critical role in preventing hydrogen peroxide damage by scavenging superoxide and consequently by inhibiting the generation of the toxic species. 相似文献

Some bacteria, isolated from the blood of hospitalized patients, have been shown to hemolyze red blood cells through a mechanism which was dependent on the oxygenated state of intracellular hemoglobin, since transformation of hemoglobin into the CO-derivative inhibited the lysis. Hemolysis was also inhibited by superoxide dismutase and catalase, while only catalase prevented the formation of methemoglobin in experiments where isolated oxyhemoglobin was exposed to metabolizing bacteria. Production by bacteria of extracellular superoxide was demonstrated. It is suggested that hemolysis is due to interaction of O2− and/or H2O2 with intracellular hemoglobin and that some product of such interaction is the lytic agent. 相似文献

Band 3, the anion transport protein of human erythrocyte membranes, can be transferred from cells to liposomes and from liposomes back to cell membranes, retaining function and native orientation. After incubation with cells, sonicated phosphatidylcholine vesicles bind a transmembrane protein that comigrates with band 3 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Like native red cell band 3, the vesicle-bound protein is cleaved by chymotrypsin into 65- and 30-kdalton fragments and is not cleaved by trypsin. The protein can be cross-linked by copper-phenanthroline oxidation either before or after transfer to vesicles; in either case, the vesicle fractions contain high molecular weight material that is dissociated into 95-kdalton species by mercaptoethanol. Band 3-vesicle complexes contain no detectable cell lipid and are specifically permeable to anions. Greater than 99% of their anion uptake can be blocked by the band 3 inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid (DIDS). Red cells whose band 3 function has been blocked irreversibly by DIDS or eosin maleimide regain part of their anion permeability upon incubation with band 3-vesicle complexes. Under the conditions employed, an average of one copy of functional band 3 is delivered to half of the cells, increasing by 2.3-fold the number of cells containing functional anion transporters. Incubation of pure lipid vesicles or red cell membrane buds with either normal red cells or eosin maleimide inhibited cells has no detectable effect on the cells' anion permeability. 相似文献

The binding of hemoglobins A, S, and A2 to red cell membranes prepared by hypotonic lysis from normal blood and blood from persons with sickle cell anemia was quantified under a variety of conditions using hemoglobin labelled by alkylation with 14C-labelled Nitrogen Mustard. Membrane morphology was examined by electron microscopy. Normal membranes were found capable of binding native hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S in similar amounts when incubated at low hemoglobin: membrane ratios, but at high ratios hemoglobin saturation levels of the membranes increased progressively for hemoglobin A, hemoglobin S and hemoglobin A2, respectively, in order of increasing electropositivity. Binding was unaffected by variations in temperature (4-22 degrees C) and altered little by the presence of sulfhydryl reagents, but was inhibited at pH levels above 7.35; disrupted at high ionic strength; and dependent on the ionic composition of the media. These findings suggest that electrostatic, but not hydrophobic or sulfhydryl bonds are important in membrane binding of the hemoglobin under the conditions studied. An increased retention of hemoglobin in preparations of membranes from red cells of patients with sickle cell anemia (homozygote S) was attributable to the dense fraction of homozygote S red cells rich in irreversibly sickled cells, and the latter membranes had a smaller residual binding capacity for new hemoglobin. This suggests that in homozygote S cells which have become irreversibly sickled cells in vivo, there are membrane changes which involve alteration and/or blockade of hemoglobin binding sites. These findings support the notion that hemoglobin participates in the dynamic structure of the red cell membrane in a manner which differs in normal and pathological states. 相似文献

Stimulation of 32Pi transport into human erythrocyte ghosts and reconstituted vesicles by Mg2+ and hemoglobin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Human erythrocyte ghosts catalyze a low rate of 32Pi uptake. A severalfold stimulation of 32Pi uptake was observed after exposure of the membranes to an erythrocyte lysate or to hemoglobin in the presence of Mg2+. Ghosts prepared from erythrocytes that had been exposed to 10 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid showed a marked reduction in 32Pi uptake. Reconstitution of membranes with added phospholipids by freezing and thawing, by octylglucoside dilution or by cholate dialysis, yielded vesicles that catalyzed 32Pi uptake. When membranes were incubated with hemoglobin and Mg2+ prior to reconstitution, the rate of uptake was increased severalfold. The inhibition of hemoglobin and Mg2+-dependent uptake of 32Pi by chloride suggests that the transport in the reconstituted vesicles is catalyzed by the classical inorganic anion transporter. 相似文献

Biochemical pathogenesis of post-traumatic epilepsy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Head trauma is often followed by epilepsy and may be related to the breakdown of red blood cells and hemoglobin within the CNS. Injection of hemoglobin or iron salts into the rat cortex is known to induce a chronic epileptic focus. We observed the formation of superoxide anion (O2) and hydroxyl radical (.OH) after ferric chloride injection into the rat cerebral cortex and suggest that these radicals, especially .OH, may be responsible for the initiation of lipid peroxidation in neuronal membranes and for the accelerated production of guanidine compounds in the brain, which may in turn lead to epileptogenicity. Then, we found that treatment with epigallocatechin (EGC) or a phosphate diester of vitamins E and C (EPC), which are potent .OH scavengers, significantly inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde and epileptic discharges in the iron-induced epileptic focus. 相似文献

Changes of intracellular free Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) in human amnion cells induced by superoxide anion were determined using a highly Mg(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye Mg(2+)-fura2 or Mg(2+)-indol. Superoxide anion, produced by addition of xanthine oxidase to hypoxanthine, induced decrease of [Mg2+]i. The decrease was significantly inhibited by an anion channel blocker, 4,4'diisothiocyano-2,2' disulfonic acid stilbene (DIDS). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), injected into cells by cell fusion, also inhibited the change of [Mg2+]i, but catalase did not. Superoxide anion induced prompt increase of intracellular pH (pHi) as well as decrease of [Mg2+]i and subsequently activated the increase of intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and the release of arachidonate. In contrast to superoxide anion, NH4Cl which induces increase of pHi in amnion cells increased [Mg2+]i. The elevation of basal level of [Mg2+]i by Mg(2+)-ionophore inhibited the change of [Ca2+]i and the release of arachidonate induced by superoxide anion. These results suggest that superoxide anion, transported through anion channels into cells, decreases [Mg2+]i directly, not due to a pH-effect and that the decrease of [Mg2+]i may regulate biological functions of the cells via increase of [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

A model was developed for computing the average deformation of red cells as a function of suspending medium osmolality. It assumes a population of red cells characterized by a single value for surface area and for isotonic volume, but having a Gaussian distribution in mean intracellular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The ability of cells of a given hemoglobin concentration to deform is assumed to be limited by either the amount of redundant surface area available or the intracellular viscosity, determined by the intracellular hemoglobin concentration. The surface area limitation is calculated by finding the dimensions of a prolate ellipsoid having the volume and surface area of the red cell. The viscosity limitation is incorporated in two ways. First, the ratio of intracellular to extracellular viscosity must lie below a certain threshold to permit deformation, and second, its magnitude determines the extent of cell elongation. This model gave a reasonable fit to experimental data for a threshold viscosity ratio close to 1. Extension to cell populations for which either mean cell hemoglobin concentration or surface area had been modified also provided a close reproduction of the experimental curves. 相似文献

We describe a single-cell technique for measuring membrane potential, membrane resistance, and the efflux of rapidly penetrating solutes such as Cl and H2O. Erythrocytes from Amphiuma means were aspirated into a Sylgard (Dow Corning Corp.)-coated capillary. The aspirated cell separated a solution within the capillary from a solution in the bath. Each of these two solutions was contiguous with approximately 5% of the total membrane surface. Microelectrodes placed concentrically within the capillary permit the measurement of intracellular voltage, specific membrane resistance, and the electrical seal between the two solutions. The intracellular voltage averaged -17.7 mV (pH 7.6) and changed as either intra- or extracellular chloride was varied. The average specific membrane resistance measured by passing current across the exposed membrane surface was 110 ohm-cm2. 36Cl and tritiated H2O fluxes (0.84 +/- 0.05 x 10(-6) M . cm-2 . min-1 and 6.4 +/- 1.5 x 10(-3) M . cm-2 . min-1, respectively) were determined by noting the rate at which isotope leaves the cell and crosses the membrane exposed to the bath. Our measured values for the flux of 36Cl and tritiated H2O approximate reported values for free-floating cells. 36Cl efflux, in addition, is inhibited by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyano-stilbene 2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) and furosemide, known inhibitors of the anion exchange mechanism responsible for the rapid anion fluxes of red blood cells. One can also demonstrate directly that > 89% of 36Cl efflux is "electrically silent" by analyzing the flux in the presence of an imposed transcellular voltage. 相似文献

Covalent modification of the permeability pathways induced in the human erythrocyte membrane by the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The intraerythrocytic malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum induces permeation pathways in the plasma membrane of its host, the red blood cell. The pathways display porelike properties with selectivity toward anions and neutral molecules. They are shown here to be susceptible to chemical modification by 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-dihydrostilbene disulfonic acid (H2DIDS), an amino-reactive reagent which is impermeant to uninfected cells. At pH 7.4 the reagent affected transport only marginally while freely entering into infected cells and reacting with intracellular hemoglobin. On the other hand, at pH above 8.5, the compound blocked the pathways efficiently (IC 50 approximately equal to 50 microM, at 37 degrees C for 10 min) as judged by four criteria: (1) selective lysis of infected erythrocytes in the presence of isotonic polyols; (2) uptake of [14C] sorbitol into infected cells; (3) uptake of the fluorescent anion Nbd-taurine into infected cells under conditions in which the native anion transport systems was inhibited; and (4) labeling of intracellular hemoglobin by the permeating reagent [3H]H2DIDS. The inhibitory effect was observed only with mature forms of parasitized cells, i.e., from the trophozoite stage and onward, while the pathways of immature ring forms were refractive. However, when the probe was incorporated into the interior of hemoglobin-depleted resealed ghosts prepared from ring forms, it was found to inhibit the pore-mediated transport. On the basis of these and other studies we postulate that the H2DIDS-sensitive sites on the pathways are endofacial, thus requiring penetration of the probe (probably through the same pathway) for their inactivation. Labeling studies with the radiolabeled modifier implicate 120-Kd, 63-Kd, and/or 51-Kd polypeptides as candidates for the pore components. 相似文献

We determined the effects of superoxide anion, produced by addition of xanthine oxidase to hypoxanthine, on the intracellular pH (pHi) and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and release of arachidonate in human cultured amnion cells. Superoxide anion induced a prompt increase of pHi and subsequent increase of [Ca2+]i. The evoked pHi was inhibited by pretreatment with anion channel blockers but not affected by omission of extracellular Na+ or addition of amiloride. The increase of [Ca2+]i was inhibited significantly by the absence of extracellular calcium or by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, cobalt. NH4Cl, which can generally increase pHi, also increased [Ca2+]i of amnion cells. But the increase of [Ca2+]i induced by the NH4Cl was significantly less than that induced by the amount of superoxide anion causing a similar increase in pHi. These results show that superoxide anion, crossed through anion channel in membrane, increased [Ca2+]i at least partially via increase of pHi and that the calcium mobilization was dependent on both extracellular and intracellular sources. Superoxide anion induced the release of arachidonate in a dose-dependent manner and this induction was inhibited by omission of extracellular calcium. These data suggest that the release of arachidonate was dependent on the increase of [Ca2+]i. We also determined the viability of cells in the presence of superoxide anion by flow cytometry. Superoxide anion at the levels used in these experiments did not change the percentage of viable cells. These findings suggested that superoxide anion may regulate biological functions in amnion cells via pHi, [Ca2+]i mobilization, and the release of arachidonate without damaging the cells. 相似文献
